Chapter 434: Ash Fragments
The Nalan beauty was stunned for a moment, but wiped her tears and immediately opened her arms.
Xiao Hua laughed secretly in his heart, his treacherous plan succeeded, and he knew in his heart that the old man's embrace actually represented all the Nalan people.
But he pretended to be stupid, not only hugged this old man, but also took the initiative to hug another old man, and the three leaders hugged two, could the remaining beauty still refuse? Hugging a beautiful woman, that's what he's for.
A faint body fragrance like a quiet orchid came, full of tenderness, Xiao Hua's heart fluttered, and he was about to drool again, but taking advantage of it is taking advantage, being amorous is not obscene, and the courtesy hug will soon separate.
As soon as they parted, the beautiful woman immediately asked:
"Xiao Daoyou, have you seen my father and mother?"
"I didn't see it, I didn't find any living people in the Holy City," Xiao Hua shook his head.
"No living people found?" , The beauty was stunned for a moment, and tears poured out instantly.
"Father ......, mother ......, woo ......."
The beauty of Nalan cried loudly, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke again.
The old man who took the initiative to hug Xiao Hua walked up to the beauty and patted her on the shoulder.
"Zixia, you should know what this means from the moment the patriarch and the four elders decide to stay, the main city is destroyed, and all the remaining clansmen, whether monks or mortals, are all covering our evacuation regardless of life and death, in order to ensure that my Nalan people will not be wiped out"
"Zixia, you have to be strong, you are a princess, and you are also the hope of all our surviving Nalan people, the patriarch and the four elders and the thousands of clansmen who sacrificed to protect the city, we will not forget"
"Elder Song, I know, but, but, woo......."
Nalan continued to cry, but in a much quieter voice.
"Alas......", Elder Song sighed and shook his head, turning his head to look at Xiao Hua.
"Terran monk, since you have been to the Holy City, tell me what is the current situation in the Holy City?"
"Oh, okay."
So Xiao Hua carefully talked about everything he saw in the "Nalan Holy City", including everything he saw on the road before and after.
This time he didn't add fuel to the vinegar, the reason is very simple, the beast tide has receded, these Nalan people can know the truth of the matter as soon as they go to check, Xiao Hua likes to exaggerate, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid.
After listening to Xiao Hua's narration, Elder Song frowned.
"You said there was a self-explosion in the inner city's temple?"
"Temple? Uh, yes, but I'm guessing, because I really can't think of any powerful magic weapon that can cause that much damage, so I think it should be a high-level monk who blew himself up."
"Well, you should be right, when the inner city was destroyed, our defense array and large magic weapons were already ineffective, and there is indeed no other magic weapon that can destroy the temple in an instant, except, alas......"
This Elder Song sighed, and then turned his head to look at the Nalan beauty named Zixia.
In fact, they all knew that the only high-ranking monks who stayed in the inner city at that time to buy time for them to break through were their patriarch and the patriarch's wife, which was the four elders they said.
If someone really blew himself up and died with the brute beast, it must be one of them, and maybe even all of them.
"Terran monk, did you find anything else in the temple besides picking up the silver crystal pendant?"
"Hmm...... does this count?"
Xiao Hua took out the six egg-sized pieces of black gravel.
"What is this?"
This Elder Song picked up one of the pieces and examined it carefully, and the other old man also picked up a piece from Xiao Hua's hand, and even the Nalan beauty also took a piece.
"It's nothing special, it's just a stone, it's just very smooth," Elder Song didn't see the name.
However, the beautiful woman named Zixia frowned, picked up another piece of gravel from Xiao Hua's hand and compared it with the one in her hand, and then she put all the gravel together, including the stone in the hands of the two old men.
"Elder Song, Elder Liu, these gravels don't seem to be anything special when they look at them individually, but when put together, don't you think they're almost identical?"
It's still this beauty who is careful, and she sees the problem.
"Huh? Really. ”
The two old men also found out, picked up the gravel and compared it again.
"How so? Terran friends, what is this? Elder Song asked.
"I don't know, I just thought these stones were a little strange and put them away."
"Hiss...... is it ......"
Elder Song frowned and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Elder Song, what's the matter, did you find something?" , the other Elder Liu asked.
"Well...... I didn't find anything, I just thought I had seen these pieces of rubble somewhere, but I couldn't remember them for a while."
Elder Song opened his eyes, but his brows were still tightly locked.
"Where have you seen it?"
That Elder Liu also frowned, and began to think hard.
Xiao Hua didn't bother the two old men, he was quietly peeking at the Nalan beauty again, but after looking at it for a while, the Nalan beauty looked up, and the eyes of the two people were together.
Xiao Hua didn't flinch, showed a smile that he thought was charming, and continued to look at the Nalan beauty.
Nalan Beauty was stunned for a moment, frowned, and then continued to look down at the few pieces of rubble, but soon raised her head again, she had already found that Xiao Hua had been watching her.
Xiao Hua still didn't flinch, and when he saw the beauty looking up at him again, he asked directly, "Your name is Zixia?" ”
"Well, my name is Nalan Zixia, I am the daughter of the patriarch, and I am also the princess of the Nalan people"
"It turns out that you are a princess, oh, my name is Xiao Hua, and I am a monk in the Great Xia Realm of the Terran Continent"
"I know, you just said it", Nalan Zixia frowned again.
"Ah, I said? Uh, well, hehe. ”
Xiao Hua smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, he was embarrassed, this is a kind of pick-up technique he commonly uses, called "deliberately clumsy, retreating as advance"
What do you mean? It means that when you talk to a strange girl, you have to deliberately look a little stupid, and it is best to make a little embarrassing that is not harmful.
Because under normal circumstances, in order to avoid embarrassment, the other party will take the initiative to find words to alleviate this situation, Xiao Hua will not try this trick, and the only requirement is to be thick-skinned enough.
Sure enough, Nalan Zixia smiled slightly when she saw Xiao Hua's embarrassed face.
"Thank you, thank you for bringing back my father's silver crystal pendant," he said, but continued to look down at the stones.
Xiao Hua didn't make any more incendiary arguments, and began to check the stone again, but at this moment, the Elder Song suddenly shouted.
"I remember, these stones are ash fragments of those elemental creatures"
"Ash shards?" , Xiao Hua was stunned,
"No, Elder Song, didn't you say that these elemental creatures can't be killed? If you can't kill it, where will the ash fragments come from? Xiao Hua didn't understand.
